Reading order
A curated way into the series.
✦ Curated by the Loreful team
The first era in the order it was published: the original trilogy, then Secret History straight after it. That novella runs alongside the trilogy and gives away how it ends, so it belongs once you have finished — and reading it there, while the trilogy is still fresh, is when it pays off most. The second era follows: the four Wax and Wayne novels, set three centuries on, in the order they were published — The Lost Metal closes it and pays off both eras.
